Who will win this game?

  • Total voters

  • Poll closed .
Stewie and Bird are getting some rest to start Q4 and Seattle is stretching the lead. That bodes well. Both back in now w/ 6 1/2 minutes left and a 13 point cushion.
 
Cannon just hit her first 3 of the season and has 15 points. I guarantee that won't happen again this series.
 
Aces are playing well right now and can't make any headway. 96-82 w/ 4 minutes left.
 
.-.
I'm not sure what Las Vegas can do. Seattle is a machine. 101-84 w/ about 2 minutes left.
 
Storm set a record, not sure if it was Finals only or any playoff game, with 30 assists. Now have 32. They are 13-26 behind the arc.
 
After the Aces barely got by the Sun, I couldn't imagine how they could possibly beat the Storm. This is playing out as expected.

PS - As a life-long Celtics fan, Laimbeer couldn't possibly lose enough to please me. :D
 
.-.
I think they took a 3 away from Loyd about 10 minutes after it happened.
 
.-.
The final tally was a record 33 assists.

The Storm move the ball and take good shots. They are tough when they get on a roll.

Who is saying that Sue is too old to play in the Olympics? She's still the best.

Geno was right: Sue and Stewie know how to win.
 
Even with the Aces playing Lamebeer, oops, I mean Laimbeer basketball they can't win. Physical and dirty just like he did when he was with Detroit. Even though the Aces are a Vegas team, as long as Laimbeer is coach I WILL NOT root for them. I despise this guy to no end.
 
I am guessing Swords will not start game 3. She was such a defensive liability that her odd O board is just not going to cut it.

I think Sue may take Finals MVP from Stewie (or co-winners :D )

Guess the whole team are good Front runners ;)

I don’t know about that. Looking at the box score it appears all the starters racked up rebounds, assists and points. Except for Bird, she laid an egg for rebounds. What a slacker!
 
Seattle is just straight up better when they play well like this. Vegas is missing Hamby badly too. Cannon was great today but they need more of a primary threat to help out Wilson. Wilson is getting her points but isn't playing like an MVP. Had a few bad defensive sequences and was thoroughly outplayed by Howard today IMO.

McCoughtry and McBride were both good today. I don't think they can play any better offensively, their only chance is to step up the D. But Seattle has so many weapons, you can't take all of them away. The other big thing is that the Aces aren't getting their accustomed trips to the FT line, but they are hitting way more 3's in ths series than their average on the season. 18 in the 2 games, I think they only average about 4 made 3's per game.

Storm's defense on Wilson works very well in both game 1 and 2.

but again, the 3Q defense by Seattle was not up to their level. Stewie in particular was not that aggressive on that end and that should be corrected. I expect the Storm to smother the Aces in the deciding game the way they destroyed the Lynx.
 
If the Aces can't stop Sue they will go down in three games. The first game she almost had as many assists as the Aces team, 16 for Sue and 17 for the Aces. Then in the second game the slowed her down, but she still had 10 of the 33 assists that the Storm had while the Aces 29. If assists would be like hockey Sue would have had credit for more assists then the Aces combined in the two games.
 
Bills summary

“But make no mistake, we had no favor from the referees today. We only shoot five free throws and we’re going to shoot more than any in the history of the league, and that doesn’t make any sense to anybody. So that was a very determining factor in this ball game where we got fouled and didn’t get calls and they got fouled and they got the call.

“They go to the free throw line more than us and they’re jump shot shooters? Please. That makes no sense.

“So that was a big part of this basketball game, also. It’s not the whole story, but just a part of it, and so was our turnovers.

What I find interesting is that Bill should be working the referee's if he feels they are getting jobbed but he seems to barely move. :confused:
